Artist Watch: Menya

You may have seen the previous post about Menya regarding their late summer tour dates, but since they've finished all of those up, the trio from New York has decided to stir things up in the studio by doing a little mixtape. On said mixtape--which will be fully available for free on October 2nd--is a collection of three covers of the group's "most loved (or hated) songs" and a brand-new single.

To help promote the mixtape, Menya decided to release videos for each song on YouTube, starting with a cover of Vanessa Carlton's "White Houses." Since then, they've also released videos for the humorous flip-cover of Kelly Clarkson's "I Do Not Hook Up" (which is aptly named "(So What) I Hook Up") and the equally clever response-cover of 3OH!3's "Don't Trust Me," where the Coco Dame and Angie Ripe speak for the ladies and get some revenge.

While their original track hasn't even hit YouTube yet, these covers have been getting so much attention that even Rolling Stone had to write about them. So, I guess what I'm saying is: go check the videos out down below and be sure to grab a copy of their mixtape when it releases on October 2nd. It'll be epic.
